Lucille Leota Eis

Lucille Leota (Farwell) Eis, 97, of Humboldt, died at the Colonial Acres Nursing Home in Humboldt on Saturday, Oct. 12, 2013.

She was born on Sept. 26, 1916, in rural Humboldt, the daughter of Ralph and Clara (Aikman) Farwell. She was baptized at the DuBois Methodist Church on Aug. 28, 1927. Lucille attended Uniondale District #66 country school and later graduated from DuBois High School in 1934. After graduating, she attended Peru State Teachers College and taught in a country school.

On May 31, 1936, Lucille married John William Eis and the couple enjoyed 67 years together. Lucille was a homemaker and helped with all the farm duties. She could take care of the cattle and sheep, had laying hens, raised roosters to butcher, worked a big garden and canned everything possible while living on the farm.

She was a life-long member of the United Methodist Church in DuBois, a member of the Pythian Sister Lodge and Extension Club in Pawnee City and the Rosedale Pinochle Club. She became a resident of the Colonial Acres Nursing Home in Humboldt on Nov. 24, 2004, after her husband passed away and her own health began to decline.
